In the "Initial Hookup" phase my prejudice is that a unit should be factory defaulted to just be an open mix setup where you hook it up you hear SOMETHING out of the Headphones!Ĭlear, good visuals, nice link references. Crashing a Mac is HARD to do! In fact, I've not seen such a thing in the past 3 years. No where is there information that a Factory Reset will cause your computer to crash. Most of the low grade here was there was no explanation in manual or video about this.
#SAFFIRE MIXCONTROL CONFUSING AS HELL MANUALS#
So the video didn't help, nor did I see anything in the manuals to suggest doing what I did to get it to work. I saw no such thing happen (the video waffled on this issue, saying you might have to, you might not) but at that point, no sound until Factory Reset was done, which was not in the video. The tutorial video just said that the Control software would, maybe, update the firmware. This was VERY weird to say the least, but hey, it worked. The greyed out Hardware Inputs now were functional looking and I could hear out Headphones and Outputs, etc. I did that and it rebooted (I have an SSD so it rebooted in 10 seconds) and all comes up and the Clarett 2Pre is now working properly. The iMac blew out so quickly I thought lighting struck it! It then turned black and then a weird screen came up saying something caused a problem with the computer and I should hit any key to reboot. So then I did what I used to do on the Saffire: Factory Reset I could see the Control software showing signal, but nothing coming out to the Headphones or OUPUT 3, 4 to my Monitors. I checked all the cables, verified the signals, no sound. I played with the Focusrite Control software (square black icon that says FC in Applications) I like it, easy to find in a sea of black rack mount gear. So it's design is very well thoughtout and pleasing if you like RED, lol.
When you toggle the Instrument/Microphone or Air ON/OFF setting you can hear a physical click from within the unit. Way more solid than any other unit I've held under $1200 It's heavy and metal and compact but not a crowded interface. My impression of the Unit is one of hardiness. Then I downloaded the software and installed it. I typed it in the first 2 times and the 3rd successful time was just a copy/paste of the second attempt. it's a confusing series of jumps and kept forcing me to re-sign in then complained I was already signed in and that my Bundle ID wasn't recognized when it was exactly right.
Slightly frustrating but I stuck with it and it worked eventually.
#SAFFIRE MIXCONTROL CONFUSING AS HELL SERIAL NUMBER#
It didn't accept my information the first 2 times online when I filled out the Bundle serial number part, but the third time it took to the information and registered it as a product I own. Anyone is free to comment on them and point out if some part of it is a misconception on my part.įirst thing was to register it.
